The group id which cvsd tries to set is 'cvs'.  Nice so far.

You don't have an /etc/group file within the chroot environment.

This may be a problem, since the Perl scripts of the CVSROOT/ directory
will run "inside" the chroot, so they will not have access to user group
information.

Try creating a minimal /etc/group file inside the chroot environment,
and see if this fixes the problem.  If not, you may have to dig a bit
deeper into Perl stuff and add debugging code around the execution of
CVSROOT/commitcheck, i.e. by modifying CVSROOT/commitinfo to call a
script of your own, which prints more information about the process that
tries to invoke CVSROOT/commitcheck.
